St. Peters Fall Carnival





Last Friday was Ava's schools fall carnival. Last year we were not enrolled (or even living here as a family!!!) so we didn't do the fall one but caught the spring carnival. This fall carnival was like the spring carnival only there seemed to be more games. And James was on foot. We had a blast- Ava played games like Secret Key, What's behind the Door, Soccer Kick, things like that. You pretty much bought tickets on the way in and the games cost a certain amount of tickets. At each game you got a prize, and Ava had her loot bag. We ended up with a few tickets left so got a couple of lollypops on the way out the door. When we got there, first things first we got her face painted. Then we played some games, PJ bid on some IPFW basketball tickets for the silent auction, went outside to play a couple of more games, played on the playground, then back into the cafeteria for some food. It's the only time I eat Chick Fil-A sandwiches. It's a crying shame there are not waffle fries too, but what can you do? After dinner we played a couple of more games and got out of dodge. The kids had a great time and it was nice to see people that we have met before, and some faces that look familiar. It's ironic that part of my reasoning for liking that church is that it didn't seem so big, but in reality it's huge! So we are slowly but surely becoming more a part of it. And I almost forgot- Ava's school pictures are tomorrow!
